8x8 white robed wizard... I fail at sprite art too, but I tried.
btw they are monochrome.

Top Left: facing right
Top Right: facing left
Bottom Left: front
Bottom Right: back

Feel free to edit the sprites and modify as you see fit.

okay, I guess it will be clear once I start coding on calc

One thing i would recommend from experience is to consider using 4x4 tiles, it makes collision SO much faster, as you only have to divide by 4 instead of 5.

hmm... okay, I'll try to make 4x4 for tiles... but what about the character sprite? it's hard to make even width sprite, that's why I wanted to do odd number width for all the tiles.
And my thought on collision was to set the middle pixel (for height it would be 4th and for width it would be 3rd pixel) of the sprite and look at which tile it was in and call the routine that handles each individual tile
(idk if I explained it right...)

oh and yunhua98 that looks awesome! I especially like the bomb explosion graphic!

lol I wanna play now
I'll be able to once I get my new laptop (although it will be around August

oh okay, and the half-byte 30X50 would be 750... lol i got it^^
I thought it would be more, like how in BASIC the matrix is huge

But, if I close the OmnomIRC tap and open multiple tabs for the forum, does that still take bandwidth? because I've been doing that all the time... If it does take lots of bandwidth, then it's not hard to switch back to one-tab browsing

Oh alright, thanks for explaining. I get it now ^^
So, if I want smaller sprites, I would multiply by smaller number instead of 8, right? But can the sprite be not square but rectangle? like, not 8x8 but like 8x16 (16 being the height and stuff)?

My idea, idk if it will be feasible, because I'm hearing that half-byte scrolling is hard X.X
I don't have any experience with Axe yet I don't have my calc atm, but I'll be getting them back within 2 weeks So I have no idea if I will be able to code this, but seeing Portal X, if I can learn like crazy over the summer, it might (just might) be possible

It will be a platformer game, where you are trying to get to the exit, and along the way, there are obstacles (kind of like Portal, Shift, and all other puzzle platformers)
I don't want the stage to be restricted to the screen size, so I want it to be scrollable both horizontally and vertically. There will be a user-friendly map editor that will save the map into either the program or appvar.
What's different is that there will be a timer in which you will be trying to get to the exit as fast as possible, and to make it more interesting, when you clear the level within certain time, you will be given points that you can spend on to buy items that will help to clear the other stages.
Some of the obstacles I have thought of are:
Spikes (basically, most of these kind of platformers have them).
rocks (or cubes) that can be pushed around, or destroyed.
keys and locks.
weak floors that will be destroyed once you walk over them.
And many others that I don't want to reveal just yet

I'm gonna try to work on sprites (don't know exactly what size it will be) before I actually start messing around with Axe.

Anyways, with the current Axe, will these be feasible? And are there any other contestants who are working on similar project? If there are, then it's not hard for me to change it since I haven't even started yet
